Ageing. there's precious little we can do about it, so we may as well accept it, get on with it and even enjoy it. Barring illness, how we cope with ageing is, to a certain extent, a question of mind over matter: we've all heard the joke. if you don't mind, it doesn't matter. This little compilation of quotes from the likes of actors, writers, comedians and philosophers takes a gentle poke at the ageing process and reminds us that it's not the end of the world. yet!.
